That did the trick... Thanks Des! I'm just trying to trim down the kernel
cuz there's alot of stuff I won't be doing w/ my box any time soon and i'm
seeing if I can get back a little memory. This will be my first time
attempting this, but menuconfig makes this task much easier for a newbie that
doesn't understand alot of these options. I figure that if I trim the kernel
only to support things I'm gonna use soon, that my box might run a bit
faster. I mean, sh**, I don't really have any use for much of what Linux has
to offer, but it still hasn't crashed yet and that's reason enough for me to
be using it. Then I can sound cool talking about building my first kernel
;-) In time I'll be doing more w/ this brilliant system as I learn more
about it.
Seriously, menuconfig is soooo easy to understand and it has HELP for most
of the options. I can hardly wait to to finish the kernel, but now, I need
some sleep... Later.
